Tough on rough bottoms

Massage our Buffy body butter all over your wet skin in the bath or shower to make you softer and smooth to the touch, paying special attention to your backside. We add ground rice, almonds and beans to Buffy to act as exfoliants; the rough textures eliminate lumps and bumps and sloughs away dry skin cells to reveal brighter, fresher looking skin. Rinse off the exfoliating bits and pat yourself dry. There's no need for body lotion after a Buffy slaying session, because the cocoa and shea butters keep your skin beautifully smooth, moisturized and soft to the touch.

Features

For your buffing pleasure: Our best-selling body butter is so popular we make in two sizes.

Smooth like butter: Shea butter is moisturizing, emollient and incredibly softening on skin.

"This stuff is borderline miraculous. I have really sensitive skin that reacts negatively to lots of things; over the last couple of years it's escalated to a stubborn case of eczema. I've tried various cures; prescription steroid creams, salt baths, and various heavy-duty lotions. Some didn't work at all, some worked a little, some worked a little better. But I used this ONCE and everywhere I rubbed it in, the redness and itchiness is gone. It's very exfoliating; the roughness may bother some, but it felt great to me. My skin felt so smooth, soft and comfortable after using it.

How to use

Can be used under water in the bath or shower. Rub the bar in a circular motion along all those rough, dry body parts. Massage in the rich butters, rinse gently and air dry (if possible). Body butters are designed to melt at body temperature, keep them safely out of direct sunlight and somewhere cool.

Questions & Answers

I've noticed that other products have expiration dates on them in your stores and I left without checking for one on this product. Is there a specific time frame this should be used or will it last for a long time?

If you keep the bar dry and in a well drained container, it can last for up to 14 months!

Q:

Can I use this for my eczema? I have tried many treatments from dermatologists I prefer Natural products. My eczema is mainly on my elbows, arms and knees.

Buffy is great for eczema as long as there is no broken skin as if can be quite exfoliating.

A:

YES. I tried all sorts of things prescription and not, and this is the first product that really made a difference. I've used it about four times now and my skin is already almost completely clear (and it was rrrreally bad before)

Q:

Hello. Is this safe to you use on kids? A 2 year old in particular? I keep hearing great reviews when it comes to KP and I just found out may daughter has KP. Thank you!

Many customers have had a lot of success using Buffy for KP so it is definitely one we would recommend. While Buffy doesn't contain anything that is harmful to use during pregnancy, we always recommend speaking with your physician before using new products to ensure that you are using what is best for your individual needs!

Congratulations on your pregnancy!I am not any kind of medical professional, so you might want to consult yourdoctor before trying anything new.BUT, first, I don't think Buffy could possibly have any harmful effect onyour baby, as its action is completely external and it does not enter theblood stream.Do read the list of ingredients before you order, to make sure there isnothing in it that raises a red flag in your particular case.With reference to the KP, the exfoliating action is very mild and mightactually be beneficial.Pregnancy can do weird things to your sense of smell, so I would order thesmall size first to see if you like it.Good luck!

Buffy is a very moisturizing abrasive bar. Think of sandpaper that is wellmoisturized. You would have to be very careful on the amounts of pressureyou use while using this bar. I am unsure how sensitive or maybe your skinhas thinned due to pregnancy, but be careful. First check with yourprenatal doctor before using. That would be the very best advice I couldoffer.

Q:

I have hyper-pigmented patches on my body. Will this help lighten it? If not which product can you recommend for it?

The Buffy Body Butter is intended to be used under water in the bath or shower. Our body butters are designed to melt at body temperature, so I recommend that you keep them safely out of direct sunlight and somewhere cool. I hope this helps!

This product is great in the shower! I would not use it after a shower asyou'll want to rinse the exfoliating thingies off. Be sure to store the barin a plastic baggy, if you let shower water run on it, it will dissolvetoo quickly. Also, spray your shower down with a cleaner after or it willbe pretty slippery. I know this sounds like a lot of instructions, but it'sworth it. The bar makes your skin so soft!

Using the buffy bar is the very last thing I do in the shower. I let allthe little granules wash off and pat dry my skin with a towel. It's oneof my most favorite Lush products!

Q:

On average how long will a bar last (7oz), is it recommended daily, weekly?

The length of time the bar lasts really depends on how often you are use it. Most people will probably find they don't need to use it daily, as it is very moisturizing and you should feel the effects for a couple of days after use. Just make sure to stay out of the shower stream when you use it, as the hot water will melt the bar away quicker.

A:

This bar goes pretty fast. My husband and I both use it about once a week. You don't want to over exfoliate your body. I estimate that it lasted me about two months But my husband and I only used it once a week.

Answered on 6/5/2013 by Sarahbobs from Escondido , CA

A:

I use it every time I shower (which is every-other-day) on my bottom, legs, and arms- and my bar lasts well over a month. I keep it outside of the shower so it doesn't melt from the steam. I have also found that if I have the bathroom fan on it isn't affected by any steam at all. I hope this helps

We don't recommend the body butters for use on the face simply because they are formulated for use on the thicker skin of the body. Different areas of your body have different needs, which is why we create specific products intended for various parts of the body. It's definitely best to look for something formulated for use on the face!

Answered on 9/18/2013 by Melissa S from LUSH Direct

A:

I wouldn't recommend it as it's a heavy moisturizer and it may make your face feel greasy or oily.

Q:

how do you store your buffy? i got the large one, and it does not fit in any of the tins i have.

The body butter tins are made to accommodate the smaller size of body butters, and unfortunately are not big enough for the large Buffy bar. You are more than welcome to store it in any container that will keep it free of moisture.

Answered on 9/23/2013 by Melissa S from LUSH Direct

A:

I know some people who cut it with a knife into pieces. I honestly just set mine on a towel outside of the shower so it doesn't get wet.

Buffy can be used as often as you like depending on what works best for your skin type. Because it is quite exfoliating, we usually recommend starting with about two times per week and increasing use if need be!

Answered on 8/16/2013 by Melissa S from LUSH Direct

A:

I use it at least 3 times a week, but can't see why everyday use wouldn't work (I only use it 3 times a week because it lasts longer). I see it as a lotion, which loads of people use everyday? :) Hope that helps!

I plan on using this daily for my arms to help treat my Karatosis Pilaris which are those annoying red bumps some people get on their upper arms...but it really depends on the sensitivity of your skin. The bar is pretty rough so if you have sensitive skin I would maybe do every other day or maybe a couple times a week.

We don't generally recommend using the body butters to shave, simply because they are very thick, and meant to work as an in-shower lotion. Because of their texture, they are a little bit too thick for a razor, and could potentially clog the blades. We do have a number of shaving creams that are formulated specifically for use with razors!

While Buffy isn't designed specifically to help with ingrown hairs, it does provide exfoliation, which helps to release ingrown hairs. Over time, it also helps to keep the skin smooth and moisturized, and less susceptible to ingrown hairs to a degree.

Answered on 8/15/2013 by Brandy from LUSH

A:

I found it helped the ones that get caught under the very first layer of skin. I don't know about deeper ones. You might want to consult a skin care expert (ie: doctor or esthetician) first.

Buffy can definitely help improve the texture of the skin by giving a good exfoliation as well as stimulation for circulation in this area which can be helpful for improving the skin's natural detoxification processes. Give it a try!

There are no cleansing ingredients in the Buffy to remove dirt, oil, or bacteria, so I'd still recommend using a bar soap or shower gel before the Buffy. You will find the Buffy helps to slough away dead skin cells, but I wouldn't consider it an antibacterial or cleansing product.

Answered on 4/9/2012 by Megan from LUSH

A:

no you can't. it's not cleansing, it's literally a exfoiliating lotion bar.

Answered on 4/10/2012 by rosec from chicago il

Yes! It smells good, and it's exfoliating AND moisturizing. I know that sounds loony, but it's true!

Answered on 4/12/2012 by Betsey Brutal from Philadelphia, PA

A:

It doesn't lather, and it has seeds..plus it will not last very long if you use on your whole body, so I would say no.

Well I don't but I don't see why not, I use it with {depending on what mood I am in} Karma/Sultana of Soap/Bohemian/Alkmaar or whatever wonderful Lush Soap I happen to have in my stash.

Answered on 4/30/2012 by eyeloveclapton77 from Noblesville, Indiana

A:

Eh, you could I suppose...but it doesn't lather AT ALL, and as it sticks to the skin, it doesn't really remove dirt and oils. I wouldn't recommend it. But its perfect post soap.

Answered on 5/2/2012 by Lady Ingrid from Wisconsin

A:

It definitely leaves the skin clean and fresh smelling after you use it, so I would say yes it can be used as a soap. Just an exfoliating soap.

This product 'body butter' is mainly used to soften skin. Keratosis is a skin condition where your hair follicles harden. This may help with the condition but it will not cure it. There is prescription medication to help with Keratosis.

Answered on 1/25/2012 by Community Answer from None

A:

Yes- many find it helps to exfoliate away the red bumps typically experienced with Keratosis Pilaris, and helps keep the skin moisturized and smooth.

YES! I mentioned this to my Lush Salesperson (also a close friend) and she actually recommended Buffy *because* of my keratosis!I find that it works better than any other exfoliation or moisturization product I have ever tried!

Answered on 2/28/2012 by LittleBird from Olathe, KS

A:

Yes! I loved it for those pesky bumps. I used it dry and then rinsed of. It will leave you very red because of the extreme exfoliation but it doesn't last long and it gets it much smoother that way.

Answered on 4/2/2012 by Amalya from Roanoke, VA

A:

I used Buffy for the first time yesterday after leaving my Kertaosis alone for years (I had a prescription for it for a while but never faithfully used it as it didn't help that much). In one day, I've seen a noticeable difference in my skin! My bumps are disappearing and are less red! It's kind of amazing. I'm pretty new to Lush but I know I'll be buying Buffy again when I use up my bar!

Answered on 5/31/2012 by Claire from Chicago, IL

A:

I have been trying all sorts of products for my KP for years and years, things prescribed by doctors too and NOTHING ever really worked... Expect for now. This bar is AMAZING. After one use, just ONE, my KP was reduced by 50%. If you want your body burden gone buy this product.
